For those of you NOT using runflats, what tyre pressures are you using?

My R56 CooperS requires 2.5 - 2.8bar (36-41psi) with runflats but I have changed to 'ordinary' tyres. Do I use the same pressures or 30-35psi as on most other cars??????

I had std tyres on both of my R56 S's and ran 33psi on them and had no problems... :thumbs up:

Yeh....what Craig says:eyes up: Anywhere between 32 - 35 should be OK:thumbs up: Just keep checking how the tyres are wearing tho:eek: Bald in the middle = too hard, bald on the inside/outside edges = to soft:D
